Dusty’s back on light duties and Lynch isn’t far behind him

Richmond star Dustin Martin has rejoined teammates on the training track but remains on light duties after rolling his ankle last week.

The 2017 Brownlow Medal winner had missed a light summer session in Melbourne on Tuesday, but was back on deck at Punt Rd on Wednesday.

Martin only took part in some basic handball drills with the rehab group, before jogging some laps for a large part of the session.

However, the Tigers expect him to be back in full training in coming days.

Key forward Tom Lynch still remains a little way off joining main training and was again limited to some light drills and jogging as he continued his recovery from a troublesome foot.

Teammate Jack Graham said on Tuesday that while it had “been tough” for Lynch – who did not play after round 4 last year – the spearhead was finally making some progress in his recovery.

Veterans Dion Prestia and Dylan Grimes were also on light duties on Wednesday as they were carefully managed through pre-season, as was captain Toby Nankervis, who headed into the gym early as he completed an individual program.

Noah Cumberland and Jacob Bauer were also part of the rehab group, while ruck recruit Sam Naismith completed a mixed program.

Rd. Bol was invited to training through a connection with a high-performance staff member and will be doing some work with the rehab group.

Bol led the way as the main group completed a lap of the oval to kick things off during their warm-up, before going on to run some laps with players, including Lynch.

A two-time Olympian for Australia, Bol was also a silver medallist in the 800m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. have live scoring and rankings available, just like head-tohead leagues. your
